    Looking to jump-start your GPA? Most college students believe straight As can be achieved only through cramming and painful all-nighters at the library. But Cal Newport knows that real straight-A students don’t study harder — they study smarter.

    A breakthrough approach to acing academic assignments, from quizzes and exams to essays and papers, How to Become a Straight-A Student reveals for the first time the proven study secrets of real straight-A students across the country and weaves them into a simple, practical system that anyone can master.

    You will learn how to:

    • Streamline and maximize your study time
    • Conquer procrastination
    • Absorb the material quickly and effectively
    • Know which reading assignments are critical — and which are not
    • Target the paper topics that wow professors
    • Provide A+ answers on exams
    • Write stellar prose without the agony

    A strategic blueprint for success that promises more free time, more fun, and top-tier results, How to Become a Straight-A Student is the only study guide written by students for students — with the insider knowledge and real-world methods to help you master the college system and rise to the top of the class.

      Really helpful and insightful, didn’t need the part about paper writing but it was interesting nonetheless
    • 4/5
      A bit late to the party, but the tools discussed can be applied to learning after college too.
